.SH DESCRIPTION
.B Dynomite
is a thin, distributed Dynamo layer for different storage engines and protocols. Dynomite provides sharding and multi-data center replication. It has a shared nothing architecture with no single point of failure (SPOF) that delivers high availability (HA) even when a server, rack or entire data center goes offline.
.PP
Redis is currently the primary backend and protocol supported by Dynomite, while support for Memcached is partially implemented. Future versions of Dynomite will support additional backends.
.PP
Dynomite provides the following functionality:
.IP \[bu]

Support for any Redis client plus a specialized Dyno client for Java
.IP \[bu]
Reduced connections to and lower connection overhead on backend storage engines via persistent connections
.IP \[bu]
Observability via easily accessible statistics
